effects of ?-cyclodextrin, ?cd, on refolding of lysozyme was investigated at ph 12 employing isothermal titration calorimetry (itc) at 300k in 30mm tris buffer solution. ?cd was employed as an anti-aggregation agent and the heats obtained for lysozyme+?cd interactions are reported and analyzed in terms of the extended solvation model. it was indicated that there are two sets of identical and no...

most of the biological phenomena are influenced by intermolecular recognition and interaction. thus, understanding the thermodynamics of biomacromolecule ligand interaction is a very interesting area in biochemistry and biotechnology. one of the most powerful techniques to obtain precise information about the energetics of (bio) molecules binding to other biological macromolecules is isothermal...

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a fast and robust method to study the physical basis of molecular interactions. A single well-designed experiment can provide complete thermodynamic characterization of a binding reaction, including K(a), DeltaG, DeltaH, DeltaS and reaction stoichiometry (n). Repeating the experiment at different temperatures allows determination of the heat capacity ch...

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a popular chemical analysis technique that can be used to measure macromolecular interactions and physical processes. ITC involves the measurement of heat flow from cell after each injection during experiment. has been useful thermodynamics such as protein-ligand or protein-protein binding affinity also processes enzyme catalyzed reactions. The use in b...
